This zine will be a digital-only PDF and will consist of a SFW edition and a NSFW edition featuring fanart and fanfic. All proceeds for the zine will go to Care for Gaza."

== Love Notes ==

Well lovelies, you've made it half way through another week. Only half more to go-- for those of you in the UK, good luck at the elections! For those in the US, tomorrow is July 4th, and while I know there are mixed feelings this year in the US, please remember to take some time to relax and enjoy a day off if you have it.

You're doing so very well friends. There is SO much going on in the world, so much going on in the fandom, so much going on in your lives. But you are still kicking, and I'm so very proud of you for that. If you need to take a break-- do it. Give yourself some grace and get some rest, the world will still be there in a few days. If you've already done that and you're taking some time to yourself-- great job-- you deserve it. Remember that we will still be here, and we will still love you when you get back. Ed and Stede? Still in love when you get back. They're off terrorising some poor patron of their Inn with stories of being gut stabbed, or forcing them to watch a puppet show they came up with.

You're kicking ass at whatever struggles you are dealing with right now-- give yourself time to celebrate the fact you're surviving them. Rest well lovelies, see you soon <3

== Daily Darby / Today's Taika ==

Tonight's theme is these two goof balls singing. Someone help me find Taika singing Queen, cause then we'll have some gif smushes <3 Tonight's gifs courtesy of @celluloidbroomcloset and @eddie-redcliffe!!

Hey do you hate pumpkin? I hate pumpkin. It's okay in soup with garlic and chili but I can't stand it sweet in pie or bread or muffins. Gross.

But I like pumpkin pie spice, which is just a combination of ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. (Hate sweet coffee so pumpkin spice lattes are off the table for me too, but I'll add actual pumpkin pie spice to coffee sometimes).

Anyway if you hate pumpkin but want to get in on pumpkin spice I've got two recommendations:

Add pumpkin pie spice to chocolate chip cookies

Add pumpkin pie spice to a Mother's Day Pie and dye it orange for a mock-pumpkin pie.

So pumpkin pie spice is one part of each cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. If you've got those spices on your spice rack you can mix them together and add a teaspoon of the resulting powder to either cookies or pie for a nice hint of spice. Add two teaspoons if you like a lot of spice.

You do you for your chocolate chip recipe (I use the Tollhouse recipe but I double the recipe and cut the chocolate chips in half and I use all butter/no shortening) and here's a Mother's Day Pie recipe:

(This is supposed to be a pie so easy that a dad and kids can make it for mom without her help, hence the name. It's an egg custard pie with a self-forming coconut crust and without spices is just a bit bland)

1 cup sugar

2 tbsp all purpose flour

.25 tsp salt

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

6tbsp melted butter (cooled)

1 tsp vanilla OR .5 tsp almond extract

3 eggs

1 can of evaporated (NOT sweetened condensed) milk (12 oz can)

1 cup shredded coconut

Preheat your oven to 350

Mix dry ingredients (except coconut), add in the butter and flavor extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in your can of evaporated milk and mix thoroughly, then fold in the shredded coconut. (optional: add a few drops of food coloring to turn it orange in a mock pumpkin pie or whatever color you want; i love teal food and no one can stop me) Pour into a pie plate and bake for 50-55 minutes; put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to set.

I find that if you're using the spices almond extract tastes better and if you're omitting the spices vanilla extract tastes better (and in that case the pie is nice when served with fresh berries)

@garlicsoupweek Day 5!! A little bit more of a fucked up movie situation than a fucked up bed situation, but it's fine XD

Family Horror Movie Night becomes a tradition after the Garlic Soup gang find a new home together <3

[ID copied from alt text:

Digital fanart of Zheng, Archie, Jim, and Oluwande from OFMD, done in a cartoon style. They sit on a sofa together watching a movie. Zheng has her legs over one couch arm and her body leaned against Archie as she eats popcorn and looks skeptical. Archie, with a w-shaped smile, has her knees drawn up to her chest and looks happy. She holds one of Jim's hands. Jim, fast asleep drooling and snoring, leans against Oluwande with their head on his shoulder. Oluwande looks very scared and holds a bowl of popcorn tightly in his lap.

All four are wearing modern pajamas; Zheng wears a pink set, Archie wears a tanktop with orange pattern and teal pants, Jim wears a grey tank and orange boxers and socks matching Archie's shirt, and Oluwande wears a teal shirt that reads "100% Wife Material" and pants matching Archie's shirt.

Text reads: Zheng thinks the plot is bad and the gore unrealistic. Archie loves the gore and is living their best life. Jim fell asleep 20 minutes in. Oluwande is terrified. End ID.]

Saw that Rhys Darby was going to be in an episode of Night Court, and I got really concerned for any Night Court fans out there who have no idea that there is a flotilla of pirates about to descend on them.

So I made a helpful guide we can give to fans of other shows when OFMD cast members show up.

So your favorite TV show has cast an OFMD actor!

Hello! It's us, the friendly queer pirate crew, here to enjoy your television program alongside you. We don't bite (and even if we do, it usually sets off a hilarious chain of events that ends in a lovely wedding).

You may notice at some point during our time together that one or more OFMD fans will begin foaming at the mouth or melting into the floor as though they have no bones. This is perfectly normal, as all OFMD fans suffer from a severe form of brain rot previously only found in goats.

However, be warned, the following "normal" items may cause ferality in OFMD fans:

- Oranges (petrified or regular)

- The color teal

- The color purple

- The color black

- The color red

- Fuck it, all the colors. We own colors now.

- Goldfish

- Cats

- Seagulls

- Snakes

- Beanies

- Gloves

- Cake (can be combined with oranges)

- Garlic

- Soup

- Garlic soup

- Legs (pronounced "ligs")

- Eyes (“EYEEE!” however, will just make us laugh)

If an OFMD fan becomes a little too feral, you can soothe them by playing Gnossienne No. 5 and putting a blanket over their head until they calm down. Note: Results may vary if said fan is in “clowning” mode.

OFMD fans are a friendly bunch, but we are often socially anxious. Here are a few phrases you can practice at home if you want to befriend an OFMD fan:

“Wow, that Rhys Darby sure has nice legs.”

“That WJW with Con O’Neill got me right in the feels.”

“Our Flag Means Death deserves a third season and all the Emmys.”

Anyhoo, we’re delighted to be here enjoying TV with you, and you are all invited to Calypso’s next birthday. (BYO bathtub)

❤️

I made another OFMD shipping video, transcription under the cut

GentleBeard - Once episode 3 came out, you ran out to get one of those gay merman ornaments, even if you don’t celebrate christmas 

EdIzzy - you were mad about the season finale, you’re still mad about the season finale. You’re never going to stop being mad about the finale. In fact, I’m surprised you're watching this, I thought you rage-quit the fandom

SteddyHands - Ed and Stede became a weird couple, Izzy became a unicorn. You just put two and two together.

Stizzy - you're a big believer in the inherent eroticism of being a bitchy old queen

Sprizzy - you think every bitchy old queen needs a bitchy young protege

Fang/Izzy - you know those memes about how big dogs think they're puppies and little dogs are aggressive little freaks? That's your ideal ship dynamic. 

Anne/Mary - there’s a predominant online opinion that sapphic ships should be soft and pure. You vehemently disagree.

Archie/Jim - you know having a good coworker is the key to surviving a toxic workplace. Especially if you get to see their boobs.

Teal Oranges - on one hand, you’re disappointed because your ship got pushed to the sidelines, but on the other, everyone else’s kinda turned into a mess so you’re a little relieved

Zheng/Oluwande - the sexiest thing someone can have to you is common sense. Especially if they're surrounded by idiots.

Archie/Jim/Oluwande - the phrase “polyamorous workplace just chilling situationship" makes perfect sense to you

Garlic Soup - everyone here seems to get along and has openly communicated their feelings. Congratulations, you’ve won Our Flag Means Death shipping.

Spanish Jackie/the Swede - your ideal ship dynamic is girlboss/malewife

CJizzy - you're happy to see your ship reunited! ...Kind of. 

Pete/Lucius - you think the wedding deserved a whole episode, and IT DID.

ButtHands - you don't think Izzy's dead. You think he's just in the gravy basket.

Ed/Hornigold - you have daddy issues that would make Lana Del Rey jealous. 

Izzy/Steak Knife - you're a size queen.

Frenchie/Roach - you think there's a another nut product Roach could feed Frenchie

Rizzy - your AO3 bookmark section is nothing but fix-it fics where Roach tends to Izzy’s gunshot wounds

Fang/Roach - being in this stressful ass fandom has really made you appreciate two people who just wanna chill the fuck out

Buttons/the sea - you actually got what you wanted this season

TealOranges & Garlic Soup Week Fic Recs - Day Two

Okay here are a few older Teal Oranges recs for today's @garlicsoupweek prompts!! The theme of the day is Soup, and prompts are sick fic, acts of service, and cooking together!! I have SO many more for Wednesday (when our Hurt/Comfort prompt comes around), but these are the ones for today!!

Tides - by MintPepper

Jim/Olu - this one is a bit more hurt/comfort, but I'm counting it as sickfic!! When Jim is in a lot of pain from menstruation, Oluwande helps them. There's also a smutty follow-up (Calm Seas) that's one of my fav fics in the fandom.

there's orange juice in the kitchen by @nevershootamockingbird

Jim/Olu - Jim is sick. Oluwande makes them soup and takes care of them. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this fic???

everybody saw that spring had come again (with a love song) by @aletterinthenameofsanity

Archie/Jim/Oluwande - Ahhh this fic!! It's part of a much longer series, but this one is Archie getting sick, and her partners taking care of her. It's lovely. Huge found family vibes <3

[watercolourcritters]

had a free morning and felt like drawing some silly soup valentines!! happy valentines day lovelies, hope you get some nice soup <3

[ID: three digital drawings of OFMD characters done in a cartoon style.

First, Zheng, Oluwande, Jim, and Archie drawn tiny and standing in a soup bowl with text reading "Will you be the garlic in my soup, Valentine?" They all hold each others hands, and look at each other with happy, gentle expressions. Zheng holds a red heart, and red, black, teal, and orange hearts float above them. The soup bowl has faint hearts carved at the bottom.

Second, Roach wearing his outfit from Zheng's ship. He holds a bowl of soup and looks peaceful. Text reads "I love you almost as much as soup, Valentine!" Hearts are beside him, as well as floating out of the bowl of soup.

Third, Archie, who is pointing at the viewer and looking astonished, with text reading "You're the Stede to his Ed, Valentine??" Archie has a soup bowl in hand, and her mouth is open, with noodles falling out of it.

The artist's signature on all three reads @ watercolourcritters. End ID.]
